I guess it depends on the employer. Most places put a big emphasis on the science though. Many pure "science" types think that they can get a biologist and have them learn programming but that a Comp. Sci. type is somehow incapable of learning the science in order to effectively translate the solutions to problems into code. My best advice is to get some experience as a paid employee with a university lab group. These are the spots which are most likely to hire a programmer and let them grow. Of course, look into as many opportunities as possible, it is just that places like that have a lower barrier to entry.
